As for PA dutch names, ha...LOL Leah, that's a hoot! As for PA dutch names, have you forgotten Thomas or Tobias? There's also Amos (and interestingly enough, the nickname for that is Amy ... talk about confused the first time my Amish neighbor called his son "Amy"!).<BR/><BR/>I feel ya on the hard-to-do-geneology. I gave up after a while, because my Dad's side of the family is Delaware Indian (or Lenni-Lenape, which it was sometimes referred), and the tribe won't allow "outsiders" access to their records. Apparently, when my Grandmother married outside the tribe, she was ousted from the tribe, as were any children she had. :-( Oddly enough, her brother was the Chief at the time, too!<BR/><BR/>As for my paternal grandfather's side of the family, that's a nightmare in itself! We can't find anyone in our line, past my great grandfather. Our family weren't very good record-keepers. We suspect that our roots go back to the Earl of Sandwich (yes, the same one that gave name to those things we eat at lunchtime), but have no difinitive proof. <BR/><BR/>My sister started working on my mother's side of the family, but didn't get very far with that, either. That side is English, German and PA Dutch ... mutts, basically. LOL I'm told that, somewhere down the line, according to family folklore, that we're related to a President, but I don't know which one! <BR/><BR/>I wish you luck, it ain't easy.<BR/><BR/>Shelli*Black Rose*http://www.blogger.com/profile/14875405404891712960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5915291681370812755.post-91791534675036955562008-12-31T07:02:00.000-05:002008-12-31T07:02:00.000-05:00You are lucky that your last name isn't Reed when ...You are lucky that your last name isn't Reed when looking for your family roots!
